The traditional Marxian arguments for the injustice of capitalist exploitation generally focus on the ownership patterns of productive property. Exploitation is thus viewed either as the result of illegitimate private ownership or as the result of the unequal distribution of productive assets. This paper seeks to contribute a different perspective on the injustice of exploitation. It argues that exploitation violates principles of appropriative and contractual justice, rather than distributive justice. To make this case, the paper shows how Ellerman's labor theory of property might be combined with Resnick and Wolff's Marxian theory of exploitation and enriched by Nussbaum's interpretation of Aristotelian moral theory to challenge the justice of the wage-for-labor-time exchange, without making reference to the existence or distribution of private property
